![]() ![]() A subjective view from the listeners position will enhance the experience telling your brain new clues regarding how to listen trough this new pair of ears. This is less obvious when you incorporate video. The result caused by these physical differences is front/back and up/down localization confusion. It is physically impossible to build a single binaural recording device, dummy head or microphone, which will satisfy every person equally. ![]() The biggest problem has always been that everybody’s ears are different shapes, their heads and torso are different sizes, etc… This physical difference we all share has basically been accepted as an impossible hurdle to overcome for binaural. I faced many problems with the case design, finding the right ears and ear canals… also modifying the mic capsules (5mm diameter) as suggested in Linkwitz site… but once it was plugged and I realised how good it sounded… the smile in my face was like…īinaural recording and listening has always had it’s limitations. This project felt like a big achievement because it was a hard task at times. I added a tripod mount screw on top, so I can adapt my camera and record video at the same time, as this is one of the best ways to increase the 3D localization of elements. My design is not a 100% head, but 2 anatomic human ears built-in ear canal (silicon), adapted in a chasis… as I don’t want to be carrying with a head around. So here we are with one of the most exciting DIY projects I´ve ever done… I always wanted a dummy head like Neuman´s, since I saw it and heard it… but always thought it was a project which it will be never achieved unless I had the few grands you need to get one commercial Dummy head. Calibration of the DIY Binaural microphone.
